So… this was my 1st Burke Decor home… still have not received (in transit). But if this is the August box and it is 9/27 does that mean there are not spoilers for September? what is the deadline to order Sept box and still receive. Did not have a good experience purchasing from the site and Aug box is so delayed, i am hesitant to get another monthly without a spoiler. Any one have any clue how it works?

They have been shipping boxes at the end of the month. They have been arriving the last couple days of the month. It used to be that the last day of the month was the cutoff. I don’t know if it’s true anymore.

It’s my opinion that they are trying to move away from spoilers because of logistics. I discontinued my subscription with them so I can’t really speak about September.

False alarm! got another comment in my chat, just the August box is discontinued as of Sept 6. They are taking orders for the September box, but the August box I had ordered was a one time purchase. So I think if you ordered the August box in September when it became available again, and you want to get September and subsequent boxes, you need to sign up for that. Sorry for any confusion

I contacted customer service yesterday. They do not have the necessary inventory to fulfill the orders that they have received. This is after being told (twice) that it would be shipped out by last week at the latest. They could not give a date for when they would ship the boxes. I am contemplating canceling my order, as it bothers me that they sold stuff that they had no idea when they could procure it to sell it. And although I do love how they put the items together & I have heard that the quality is great, I feel like I could find similar items – probably at the same price point – it I was willing to put a little effort into it.

No, and I haven’t heard a thing since the original order confirmation. When i log in it says order status is unfulfilled. I ordered the blanket as a housewarming gift, and now I’m getting a little nervous about actually getting it….

I did not get that email but I ordered on the 31st before they offered the box again so here’s hoping I get the grey. My order still is processing though so I hope that is really the case. I also ordered a few other items for holiday gifting as well.

Did anyone else receive this from Burke Decor? I received it a couple minutes ago and actually responded with a request to cancel my order. I have no need for a stark white blanket sadly.

“Thank you for your BurkeBOX order!
Unfortunately, due to high demand of this month’s box and the extra orders we have accepted, the grey throw has been oversold and is not available anymore for your order.
We will be sending the following throw in it’s place:

egad no…. i hope i don’t a white throw would be a nightmare. The grey is still up for sale on website. I would maybe ask how they are over sold but still have for regular purchase. Alternatively ask if you could sub another throw of similar value…. see if there is one you like in the same ballpark on cost? Never hurts to ask

thanks for the ideas! there don’t appear to be any other throws in a similar price point, but I did ask about the availability of the grey throw since it’s still available for sale on the site. we’ll see what they say!

I just contacted customer service. They do not have the necessary inventory to fulfill the orders that they have received. This is after being told (twice) that it would be shipped out by last week at the latest. They could not give a date for when they would ship the boxes. I am contemplating canceling…. The items are easily attainable elsewhere – for similar pricing to be honest. So the question is – to cancel? Or to wait it out?

Just ordered and added another mug that says ‘sweetie’ – perfect housewarming gift for my nephew and his wife who just bought their first house. Now I’m trying to contain myself from ordering another box to keep! 🙂

Burke Box actually posted this info to the discussion on the spoilers post, and I got an email from them because I’d chatted with them on their site and requested to be notified if they made any more available. Definitely real! (:

caved bought one after reading your review. ALSO bought some sale stuff… Pashmina normally $22. I got on sale $7.20 plus 20% off with code calculus…. Could I really walk away when less than $6? Code expires midnight ET tonight.

ordered one now! I am powerless when it comes to comfy fleece throws. It will help take the sting out of what is supposed to be another brutal Winter. I didn’t get charged for shipping, wondering if this is new?
